Datong Ancient City Xinyue Homestay

The receptionist is awesome, she gave us all instructions for good restaurants and the public transportation to go to the attractions. The location is great. But they don’t offer real towels, just disposable towels.

Excellent stay and location near Datong ancient city wall with a lot of food options nearby (must try the sliced noodles, local specialty). Great place to rest after visiting all of the nearby attractions and walking all day. The room is very clean, spacious, bright and well equipped. Additional bonus is that you don’t have to carry a key around since the doors are equipped with combination locks that are customized for your stay. I recommend this hotel and would return on a future trip. Note: There is no front desk or reception and the rooms are spread out in a large multi-story building. Make sure to get in contact with the hotel once you arrive and the manager will meet you at the lobby and take you to your room. If you don’t speak Chinese, having a translation app is also useful.

We had a great stay in Datong and the apartment was very nice, quite big and very clean. It was a little bit of a search when getting to the accommodation. Best to reach out beforehand, they are very communicative! The location is fine, close to restaurants, malls, public transport and the walled city. I did not like the disposable towels.. Using a towel once and throwing it out instead of washing it? Seems old fashioned and not sustainable. Overall a good stay and a great view!
